Blown77Z Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 FINALLY got it back to the drag strip after the Q45 was put in... My previous best time was a 8.36@90.87 in the 1/8th. Went from a open diff R200 3.91 gears to the Q45 w/ 3.54 gears. NEW TIME 8.04@92.54 !!!! on STREET TIRES, that's OVER 3/10ths faster... WOOT My 3 progressive runs were a 8.28, 8.15, then the 8.04 The 8.04 was done by dropping the clutch around 2,200 rpms or so. Even at that RPM the car bogged a little and spun/wheel hopped 2nd gear BAD, I mean BAD If 2nd would have hooked I would have been in the 7s ! Tires I run on are the Toyo Proxes T1R 245/45/16 Here's my NEW favorite picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdeezs Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Nice vehicle # ...I take it that was on purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 My car number was actually 80, but I guess they put in 280 instead, which is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdeezs Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 LOL nice...now for some quarter mile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 it will run 7's if you can get them 60's down to the 1.7 or quicker. Try launching at 3500 to 4000 rpms if your clutch will handle it. Also you might want to look at some Nitto DR. You have got some good MPH but you need more traction just like everyone else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah, I was suprised my 60 ft times were still in the 2s even after dropping it at 2,200 RPMs.... I was going to try for 7s one more time after my 3rd run, but was a little afraid of something going wrong or breaking at that point, so I just went home. I'm going to buy me some full slicks here soon... MT drag slicks 26x8.5x15 will do just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah I've always found that the steeper gears are better, unless you have a NA L6. Otherwise you spend more time shifting gears than running through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gr8White Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You definitely have the mph for a mid 7 second pass....Get that 60 foot down and you'll have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfan1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Run the Mickey Thompson 255/50-16 drag radials. They hook big time and you can drive it to and from the track. The slicks are not street legal and if it rains...well you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
